Arduino UNO Media Carrier Development Board ASX00083

The Arduino UNO Media Carrier is a multimedia expansion shield that adds a 1.8" TFT LCD display, microSD card storage, audio output, and joystick navigation to Arduino UNO R3 projects. It transforms the UNO into a compact platform for interactive applications, data logging, and portable media playback.

Advantages

This shield integrates display, storage, and audio in a single stackable board, eliminating the need for multiple add-ons. The 5-way joystick and two push buttons provide intuitive user input, while the standard Arduino R3 headers ensure plug-and-play compatibility with existing UNO boards and most shields.

Suitable for

• Arduino UNO R3 and compatible boards
• Projects requiring a graphical user interface
• Data logging with microSD card storage
• Audio playback applications
• Handheld or portable device prototyping

Key specifications

• Display: 1.8" TFT LCD, 128x160 pixels, ST7735 controller
• Storage: MicroSD card slot
• Audio: 3.5mm stereo jack with I2S DAC (NXP UDA1334A)
• Input: 5-way joystick, 2 push buttons
• Interfaces: SPI (display, SD), I2C (via headers)
• Operating voltage: 5V DC from Arduino board

Recommendations

Ideal for makers and educators who want to add a rich user interface and multimedia capabilities to Arduino UNO projects without complex wiring. Use the Arduino IDE libraries for quick setup.
